  1. This was a situation where Joe really should have just brought Rondon in from the start. There is no sense trying to save him and walking the tightrope with a lesser pitcher in the game.
  2. When did Fred Savage start doing commercial voice overs?
  3. "Ryan Howard's got a goat head in his glove." I can't say that I've ever heard that expression before, but I love JD.
  4. When would this game possibly be made up if it gets rained out? The Cubs already have a doubleheader on Tuesday, so would they really be asked to play another one over the weekend?
  5. What are the chances that Neil Ramirez will be healthy enough to contribute in late innings by the end of the season? Or is it more realistic to hope for Edwards to emerge as a go to guy?
  6. Yes. I don't trust anyone outside of Rondon.
  7. Who is the next washed up veteran pitcher in line to be picked up and immediately thrown into late game situations?
  8. Regarding Soler, a better question may be whether he is worthy of a bench spot on this year's playoff roster.
  9. Say what you will about Lovitz, he nailed the song!
  10. Rib cage strain is much better than oblique, right?
  11. His agent is Scott Boras, he's going to get full value Or you could work with some direct quotes from Jake himself: ‘‘I don’t think I’m a guy that’s going to ask for an astronomical amount of money,’’ Arrieta said Tuesday. ‘‘But I think if there’s a fair deal to be reached, I’m in 100 percent. I like pretty much everything about Chicago and the team that’s in place now, with the guys that are coming up. It’s hard not to want to stay here.’’ Arrieta said having Boras for an agent doesn’t preclude a deal. ‘‘The decision comes down to what I want to do,’’ Arrieta said. ‘‘Scott is very good about giving me all the information and letting his clients make the final decision. There’s a lot of negative talk about the way Scott does things, but I think it’s pretty clear he’s the best in the business. What it really boils down to is what I want, what the team wants, and we kind of go from there.’’ http://chicago.suntimes.com/uncategorized/7/71/198048/cubs-right-hander-jake-arrieta-open-to-long-term-contract That article is from over a year ago. I think it is fair to say that Arrieta's value has increased substantially since then.
  12. Is his nickname Q-Bert? If not, it should be.
  13. If I were the Reds, I wouldn't give Montero anything to hit here with Baez behind him.
  14. Safe bet Castro won't be in the lineup tomorrow.
